The Ministry of Foreign Affairs unequivocally condemns the desecration, with Nazi symbols, of the monument dedicated to Thessaloniki’s old Jewish cemetery, which is situated within the grounds of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
The Greek state and society utterly reject any act of racism, intolerance and anti-Semitism wherever it may be carried out. All the more so when such acts occur in a city that mourned 50,000 members of its historic Jewish community, our compatriots, who became victims during the Holocaust under Nazism, just because they were Jews.
There can be no tolerance for such illegal and immoral actions.
